Ingredients
  • Ice Cream Pie
  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream
  • 15 candy canes
  • Whipped Cream (you could use Cool Whip if you like)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Place the Oreo cookies and melted butter in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground. To test the consistency, squeeze the mixture between two fingers - it should lightly stick together. If it is too dry add another tablespoon of melted butter and blend.
  2. Transfer the Oreo crumble to a 9-inch pie dish and press the cookie crumbs firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Place the Oreo crust in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the Oreo crust is firming up, take the ice cream out of the fridge to soften. Once the ice cream has softened, add ¾ of the crushed candy canes and stir to combine.
  4. Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the ice cream into the pie pan just up to the edge of the Oreo crust (you may have a some ice cream leftover, in that case just refreeze and enjoy later). Freeze the pie for another 30 minutes.
  5. To make the whipped cream, place a metal bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. Remove the bowl and add the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until you form stiff peaks. Transfer the whipped cream to a pipping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off, fitted with a star tip. Pipe a shell boarder all around the edge of the pie. Then pipe a single row of smaller stars just inside the shell boarder.
  6. Garnish the center of the pie with the crushed candy canes and the shell boarder with what's leftover. Serve and enjoy!
